Procedure Details:The practitioner injects small amounts of Botox or Xeomin into the targeted muscles using a fine needle. The treatment takes about 10-15 minutes, and no anesthesia is required. There may be slight discomfort at the injection sites.
Recovery & Results:There is no downtime, and most patients can resume daily activities immediately. Side effects like mild swelling or bruising may occur but usually subside within a few hours. Full results are visible within 5-7 days, and effects last 3-6 months.
Who is a Good Candidate?Ideal candidates are individuals with facial wrinkles caused by muscle movement (dynamic wrinkles), such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines. Botox and Xeomin can also be used to treat medical conditions like chronic migraines or excessive sweating.
